Looking for cheap flights from Pune to Tiruchirappalli? FlightGPT compares live PNQ to TRZ fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Pune to Tiruchirappalli non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Pune-Tiruchirappalli fare is one search away.
On this route you will mostly see IndiGo (6E) and Air India (AI), with the occasional Air India Express (IX) tail on the southern leg into Trichy. Because there is no dependable daily non-stop, the booking engine stitches two flights together — a Pune departure to a hub, then a connection onward. IndiGo carries the widest spread of timings because of its dense Bengaluru and Hyderabad banks, often offering 6–8 connecting permutations a day. Always confirm whether your two legs are on a single PNR; a through-fare protects you if the first flight is delayed.
Realistically you will connect via Bengaluru (BLR), Chennai (MAA) or Hyderabad (HYD). Bengaluru and Hyderabad sit almost on the straight line south, so they add the least detour; Chennai works well if a same-terminal connection lines up. A comfortable layover is 75–120 minutes — tight enough to keep the day short, generous enough to clear a terminal change. If you would rather fly non-stop into the south first, compare a Pune to Bengaluru leg and a separate onward ticket.
Tiruchirappalli International Airport (TRZ) sits about 5–8 km from the city centre, one of the closest airport-to-town distances in Tamil Nadu. Prepaid taxis and app cabs reach the Central Bus Stand or Srirangam in 15–25 minutes, typically for ₹250–₹450. Auto-rickshaws are plentiful for shorter hops. If you are continuing to Thanjavur or Madurai, shared taxis and frequent buses leave from the nearby stand. See our Tiruchirappalli airport guide for terminal tips.
Domestic economy includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on IndiGo and Air India; Air India Express runs a similar allowance on saver fares. On a connecting itinerary the lower of the two airlines' allowances applies, so check before you pack. Economy one-way typically runs ₹4,800–₹9,500 depending on season, airline and how far ahead you book, with festival peaks pushing higher. Booking 3–6 weeks out usually lands the best connecting fares.
Trichy is hot for much of the year, so the pleasant window is November to February, which is also when fares climb because of temple festivals and weddings. For value, target February–March and August, when demand softens and a 1-stop ticket can dip toward ₹4,800–₹6,000. Avoid the Pongal fortnight in mid-January and the year-end holidays if you want the lowest prices on the connecting legs.
Trichy is a temple city: the vast Sri Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam — one of the largest functioning Hindu temple complexes in the world — and the cliff-top Rockfort Ucchi Pillayar shrine, reached by climbing 437 steps. It is also a gateway to Thanjavur's Brihadeeswarar temple, about 60 km away. The city blends pilgrimage, education hubs and a busy industrial belt, so traffic mixes devotees, students and professionals.
Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on most carriers — do it for both legs to lock seats. DigiYatra is optional and live at Pune; it speeds the security gate if you enrol with a face scan. Carry a government photo ID (Aadhaar, driving licence or passport) that matches the booking name. On a connection, reconfirm whether you re-clear security at the hub; leave at least 75 minutes for a terminal change.
Not reliably. Most itineraries are 1-stop via Bengaluru, Chennai or Hyderabad, taking about 4–6 hours total over the roughly 1,118 km route, versus an idealised ~2h 15m if a non-stop existed.
Plan for 4–6 hours door-to-gate including a 75–120 minute layover. The pure flying time across the two legs is around 2h 45m to 3h 30m depending on the hub.

Economy one-way usually runs ₹4,800–₹9,500 depending on season and airline, with December–January peaks occasionally crossing ₹11,000.
